@Devs: PLD/GLD and poor AoE enmity management. Intentional design choice?

How much +enmity are you wearing Xero? That might be an easy, if expensive, fix to your problems.

WHMs should never be pulling hate. Stat-Capped BLM/MNK/DRG sure, that's why I still prefer WAR for high-powered parties, but with somewhere close to +100enmity and the right skill rotation, WHMs shouldnt be taking it.

I've been holding aoe hate on PLD fairly well in skirmish, so it certainly can be done. And, that's with a WAR in the group.

Then you have the warrior who is geared to get/hold agro instead of do damage, then you lose.

that's actually exactly how he's geared and we've won nearly every time.

I believe that it's a mechanic of that fight. Not 100% sure what all is effected by it, but on the Golem in Skirmish, if you heal, then his hate resets and he comes after you.

The reason I say I'm not sure what all is effected is because, we had a BRD that was using songs too that was pulling hate. So it's possibly a Buff/Heal hate reset that he does.
I tried Stoneskin but it didn't seem to have any effect. But you can go from Green to Blinking Red if you heal something. (I didn't have Protect on either, but that might work)

Lose at agro i mean, not the skirmish.
